Buyer beware, I would stay away from Bitmain's gear unless you want it to look like this:

inadequate AC WALL power being sent to the power supply that is why this happens. or loose connectors but if everything it tight then its WALL!

Better to have 100 friends than 100 rubles

My Batch 5s arrived today. Setup without problems. However... they are screaming at me! My batch 1 did this until I removed the front grill, then it was actually quieter than my S7s, but I can't seem to get the B5s to stop screaming.

Going to try forcing fan speeds next and see if I can hit a different resonances.

Oh thank god... the vent filter trick did the job. Don't know if that is due to the fans speeding up to compensate or what, don't care.

Still a minor whine, but nothing like it was.

Looks like a freak accident to me, Are you going to sell off all of your BITMAIN gear now?

I've not had that extreme of a problem, but I have noticed a few of my power connectors have a slightly burnt look to them. Rather concerned about that.

I'd bet we don't see the price below $1000 before September.

Only a fool pays full price at 2+ BTC for the next batch, with halving in the next 5 days. Bitmain will have to drop S9 price by 50% right after the halving. But stupidity and greedy go hand in hand.

this is hilarious if you actually think this is true

I see a wager.

Bitmaintech drops price by 50% in 10 days or less from the ½ ing.

Price based in usd fiat not btc.

Batch 5 is 1853.27 usd as of right now.

So it would need be 926.63 usd 10 days after the ½ ing.

BTC is weird not very sane . So I guess it could happen.

but maybe not.

I am planning for 2 x S9 purchase

just having a doubt, few are saying that mining wont be profitable after halving

Is it true?

Most profit depends on your expenses. Like your electricity cost? Are you running it in your house, if so its going to be hot and you may need more cooling, etc etc. But I still think its profitable. I just purchased my first S9 and plan to get more soon. The efficiency is there and I am in a good spot for electricity.

Does AC is required for more cooling or table fan would be enough for 2 x S9?

Planning to run it for 24x7

how much temp does it reach when we run it for 24x7?

It will put out roughly 200cfm of 50-60 degree air, operating at room temperature, basically a 1200w fan-driven space heater that sounds like a vacuum cleaner lol.

My B45 order of S9s has hit the United States. I've been buying miners from Bitmain since the S3, and this is the first time I've had DHL tell me I owe import taxes. Apparently the message is coming DHL Canada, perhaps because its the 4th of July Holiday here in the USA? I tried calling Customer Support, which is suppose to be open, but got routed to an old DHL Canadian telephone that told me to update my phone records and call 1-855-DHL-SHIP - very strange.

Anybody else having problems today?

DHL showed up today, the 4th of July, with my 2 power supplies, and confirmed my B5 S9s were sitting in the warehouse (well, at least one of them the carrier actually laid eyes on) awaiting import duty payment.

I've been reading this and other threads and apparently duty varies from $10 to $50ish per unit, I had to pay $138 for two units in Missouri - which seems excessive.

Why would they drop the price? The halving? Nah. They'll drop the price when there is competition from another company. Welcome to monopoly pricing power. If you want to mine with the latest generation of chips, then the S9 is the only publicly available option right now. There are rumors of other current gen chips, but not generally available.

Cheers,

Aside from the S4+, this must be the slowest antminer thread ever. Guess a lot of people have moved on.

Yeah with the halving I imagine that it is much harder for any chance of return even with really cheap electric rates. They would need to drop the price by half for me to even consider getting one with my rates.
